Dear Ms. Julia,

I would like to bring to your notice that on 11th April, 2016, I had to abruptly leave the office because of some medical emergency in my family. My grandmother had fallen seriously ill and I had to take her to hospital immediately that day. Because of the seriousness of the issue, I was not able to inform my team leader for leaving work all of a sudden. I have not filled in leave form today for yesterday and I hope you are going to consider my absence as leave.

My grandmother’s condition is not stable and my sister is there to care of her. Now I will be able to focus on my job and will not be missing any work.
